FANTASTIC CON!



Hey Gerry! Thanks for inviting us to join the KOMIKERO booth at The 2nd Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention. It was fun! Fun! Fun! Sweaty and hot, but fun. :)

It was also great to finally meet the Komikeros!

Happy-perky-hyper-Ryan was the first to greet me, say hello, and try to sell me their comic books. He also took all my coins and spare change... hehehe...

Finally got to meet Jonas Diego after all those years of snail mail and email.
Hey Jonas! Yup, we must work on something soon!

Geoffrey was there to give away preview copies of his comic book debut SERVANT.

Hello na rin kay Jac, Johnny, Jerald, and Mylene, their newbie Komikero. :)

And finally got to EB with Tobie! (Sorry... still can't find the script!)

Ryan Orosco passed-by and gave Gerry a CULTURE CRASH calendar. heheheh

Philip Tan came by stayed for awhile and was able to do a sketch or two.

On the Alamat side of the booth, it was just me and Carl and his sold-out ZSAZSA ZATURNNAH. On the last day of the con, I left Carl for awhile and when I came back an hour later, he was the only left in the booth. The Komikeros had gone home and all his copies of ZSAZSA were sold out. So he was hanging out in booth for over an hour with nothing but copies of B72, which he was able to sell to the curious few. THANKS CARL! YOU'RE A PAL! :)

During Day One of the Con, Dave, Mark, and Bow helped man the booth. (Which makes me wonder, since Karen also joined us, does that mean she "womaned the booth"?) It was great to hang out with all of them and just talk about comic books and movies. Later than evening, Camille joined me, Dave and Carl and we talked more comic books and some new projects. So, maybe we'll have new books to show in the next convention.

More pics of the SCI-FI CON at my phlog.



Chekov: Course heading, Captain?

Captain Kirk: Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a...

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living ...
Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...
